Not able to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g - The application is logging out

Hi All,
We are trying to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g. The list of users gets populated when I click on Act As. However, when I select any user from the list, the applications logs out. The possible reason could be that OBIEE is not able to authenticate the user (We are using table based Authentication). Please give some pointers to fix it.
Also, I am curious to understand the authentication process in case of Act As. The list that gets populated is a list of target users from the table. In our case, the username and display name gets populated. But, how does OBIEE check if that is a valid user or not?
Thanks in Anticipation,
Karan

Does Act As functionality work with BI Publisher? I am able to login and select Act As and pick a user and view all dashboards, however when I click a PDF embedded in a dashboard page from Publisher, it says Unauthorized Access: please contact the administrator. If I am logged in as myself I can view the PDF. If I am logged in as the user I acting as I can view the pdf, but if I login as myself and act as that user and try and view it, that is when the error occurs, so am wondering is Act As is incompatible with BI Pub.

Issue in Configuring ACT as functionality obiee 11g

Dear Expert,
I had done the below steps in creating ACT as functionality in 11g. I am using MS SQL Server 20005 and had created table called OBIEE_PROXY.
1. Created system variable called "PROXY"
2. Created Session initialisation variable (PROXY and PROXY LEVEL) and associated the connection pool
3. Created customs templates
4. Configured the instance.xml
5. Done the setting in the Manage privileges
6. Restarted the BI services
I had taken repository rpd to offline and done the above changes .Modified RPD is uploaded through EM and restarted the services. When I login and see the ACT as there is no users appearing in the screen .
Please advise if I missed any step. Also please advise that should i need to create a user’s in the web logic console which i am trying to pass from MS SQL Server.

Has your phone ever been hacked or jailbroken. This error message is what usually shows up for that. Are you using a supported carrier for the iPhone, or did someone hack the phone to unlock it to be used on another carrier. If that is the case, then there is no help you can get here as discussing hacked/jailbroken devices is not allowed.

HT1414 just got iPad 3.. not able to configure

just got iPad 3.. not able to configure.. not able to connect to WiFi, at my location WiFi network exists with proxy settings.. pls Help

I'd talk to your school tech support and see what settings they have in place. For example, I can't access my work's e-mail via the exchange app but I can via the web access...largely because it's not a work iPad and they won't allow that kind of access on a device that's not 'their own'

Re: Dynadock not able to configure properly external monitor

Dear Sir/Madam,
I found a problem with my Dynadock (PA3541EY1PRP) in terms that it is not able to configure properly the monitor (LG Flatron E2250V-PN).
I would make clear that my PC is working under win 7 64bit.
Thanks oodles for your support.
Regards
MAx

ok,
when I connect VGA cable to the dynadock, external monitor apperas to be in low resolution.
Checking in the "screen resolution", windows shows "no monitor" (can I attach a file to show the screenshot?) and the maximum resolution is set at 1440X900. Therefore, I am forced to connect directly the external monitor to the pc. In this case the monitor is properly recognized as "VGA monitor" and the resolution appears to be rightly set at 1920X1080.
thanks

I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

Hi!
I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
Carlos.

Hi,
Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
* I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
* Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
I'm getting mad...

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
Problems resulting from those modifications can't be discussed in these forums, due to the Terms of Use
